BODY OF THOMAS WHALEN FOUND The police department received a telegram last night in which it was stated that the body of Thomas Whalen, who was drowned off Chester Island last Sunday a week, had been recovered. William Green, a fisherman, discovered the corpse floating in the river. Arrangements were at once made to have the body shipped to this city. Whalen was twenty-seven years old, and lived with his wife and one year old child at 1640 Ferry avenue. He was a member of the Camden Pleasure Club and went down the river on the yacht Little John Sunday, June 25th. When off Chester Island he and several others went in bathing. Unable to swim he went beyond his depth and drowned, despite heroic efforts to rescue him.
